Advent Prayer – E

Father in heaven,
our hearts desire the warmth of your love
and our minds are searching for the light of your Word.
Increase our longing for Christ our Savior
and give us the strength to grow in love,
that the dawn of his coming may find us
rejoicing in his presence and
welcoming the light of his truth.
We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord.
Amen.
